Commission notice on technical guidance on the classification of waste · European Union

Commission Decision 2000/532/EC (11) establishes the European List of Waste (LoW). The LoW is the key document for classification of waste. A consolidated version of the LoW has existed since 2000 and has been revised by Commission Decision 2014/955/EU (12), in order to adapt the LoW to scientific progress and align it with developments in chemicals legislation. As EU Decision, the LoW is binding in its entirety and addressed to the Member States and does not require transposition. Some Member States published guidance documents reflecting the LoW to help businesses and authorities implementing the LoW within the Member State, especially in cases when Member States make use of Article 7 (2) or (3), see Box 2 above.
